Re: [IRCA] You MUST bookmark this site WAS: UNID'd/Sound-a-like help needed



No Paul, no clue about the real WXMY, I just made up those calls for my
fuzzy call exercise.  

I did look at the WXMY website and Wikipedia entry.  The station seems
to be back on the air.   Sounds like they play Classic Country and
Bluegrass - that makes 'em all right in my book.  Someone asked me once
what kind of music that I like and I said that I like both kinds,
Country AND western. :)

David,

You DO know WXMY is a real set of call letters right? I knew the owner,
well.. before he went to jail.

Thanks for the link!
